ParaView MCP Server

This package is the external FastMCP server that talks to the ParaView MCP client plugin over TCP.

It expects the ParaView-side C++ plugin to be loaded and listening first.

Requirements

  • Python >=3.13
  • mcp[cli]>=1.26.0,<2

Install

Run without installing (recommended):

uvx paraview-mcp-server

Or install from PyPI:

pip install paraview-mcp-server

For development, install in editable mode from the repository:

cd Wrapping/Python/MCPServer
uv sync

Environment Optional Configurations

  • PARAVIEW_HOST defaults to 127.0.0.1 -> set this for remote connections
  • PARAVIEW_PORT defaults to 9877
  • PARAVIEW_AUTH_TOKEN is required for non-loopback targets

Bridge Protocol

The server speaks protocol version 2 to the ParaView plugin and sends:

  • hello
  • ping
  • execute_python
  • inspect_pipeline
  • capture_screenshot

The public MCP tools remain:

  • execute_paraview_code
  • get_pipeline_info
  • get_screenshot

Run
